The PTA and Mrs Petrozzi, organised a circus themed fun day for the pupils of Orchard Primary School on Friday 15th July. The circus came to town in the afternoon!

Pupils were shown how to juggle, spin plates and of course how to be a clown. After the circus fun, it was time for traditional summer fete fun. The ice cream man, a barbeque, face painting and the bottle tombola were all popular as well as other stalls. Let's hope that we managed to raise plenty of money for our funds.

Some of Orchard's pupils started Cleeve Park Secondary School in September 2015. I am pleased to annouce that they not only settle in with the transition but they also continue to make us feel very proud of them.

A selection recieved awards for various subjects for their year group. Saruniya achieved an award in Art, Alfie.C School Council Rep, Ben Boy Sportsman of the Year, Louise Girl Sportswoman of the Year and Frankie.W recieved a certificate for Music.

Nursery & Reception have been very busy practising nursery rhymes all week. Today, they got to show their grown-ups how clever they are. It was Nursery vs Reception in a battle of the rhymes and both sides were pretty impressive. Remembering to use loud clear voices and of course remembering the words, they stepped up onto the stage and delivered an exciting rendition of classic rhymes as well as more modern. Each pupil received a certificate for their achievement.
